Trauma Informed Practice core training on CLIVE
Trauma Informed Practice allows organisations to develop a trauma informed and responsive workforce that is able to adapt to the needs of the people they support. Implementing this process requires different levels of support and training depending on your roles and position within the organisation. Part of this training involves a number of e-modules at various levels, which are:
- Level 1 – Informed: relevant to all staff within an organisation.
- Level 2 – Skilled: relevant to staff who are likely to come into contact with people who may have been impacted by trauma.
- Level 3 – Enhanced: relevant to staff who are directly involved with people who have been affected by trauma as well as those required to manage the services that support those people.
Level 1 - Informed
To fulfil the requirements of Level 1 training, please contact the Trauma Informed Practice Development Officer who will be able to provide a presentation to your team. The presentation outlines the aims and objectives of working in accordance with the principles of trauma informed practice. It is also the first of many steps, in being your trauma informed journey.
